But the turn processing time means that I just can't justify buying the game to myself. I spent more time watching turns process than playing them, and this on the first few turns of a 5-person game in the demo.

My machine's a 2 GHz with 768 MB of RAM; my graphics aren't the best, but my problem isn't with graphics processing.

It doesn't sound right. I thought you were complaining about sluggish turn processing on turn 80 on a huge map. I've marginally better computer and turn processing in similar setup takes maybe 1-3 seconds...
